Could Guy Ritchie be back?

Guy Ritchie made two very entertaining movies back in the 20th century, "Snatch" and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels". These multi-threaded British crime comedies helped launch the careers of Jason Statham (who still hasn't been in anything better) and Vinnie Jones. "Lock, Stock..." which was made for a paltry 1.6 million British pounds became the third highest grossing British film ever.

Then he met Madonna and things spiralled downward from there. Since that time he has only directed one feature film which was the almost universally panned "Swept Away".

Now years later and regardless of the current state of his marriage to the material girl, Ritchie is finally back to the genre that he help put on the map, crime action comedies set in London.

Hopefully his upcoming "Rock N Rolla", which has a pretty good looking trailer if you ask me, will be his triumphant return to relevance.
